Raoul Moat, a 37 year old, shot himself and thus died after a six hour stand-off with the police after he shot his ex girlfriend and her new lover. The stand-off started when Raoul was spotted on a riverbank in Rothbury. This ends the biggest manhunt in the history of the UK. Among the 'hunters' there were police officers from 15 different forces, sharpshooters from Scotland Yard and armoured 4x4's. When the police surrounded the former nightclub doorman, one shot could be heard. That was his suicide attempt. He was rushed to the hospital, but was pronounced dead on arrival.
Own opinion:
I think that it is a pity that he got the chance to shoot himself. Not only for himself, but also because now he could not get punished for his action. Also, I find it rather disturbing that the police, even though they searched with such a big force it still took them a whole week to find Raoul Moat. I understand why he did it, why he shot his girlfriend but at the same time I do not. I mean, what is the use? If you are not over her you should try everything you can to get back to her, and not kill her. But that is my opinion.
